LOL jackie, the result says a LOT about our food culture in this country don't you think? Either that or the vast majority of viewers of Food channel & visitors to this site are just too busy (or apathetic) to take the time to vote. Wonder exactly HOW MANY VOTES/VOTERS culminated in this 'win'?
I love Mexican food and this place was top of my list when I visited Melbourne - I don't know what the fuss is about and I CANNOT BELIEVE it won in the I LOVE FOOD awards. The atmosphere IS great and the staff ARE friendly but the food is very ho hum. Nothing special at all really- considering the accolades this place gets (for whatever reason) The highlight of the night for me was the margarita tasting plate, cause the food sure wasn't.
Total Fail . . . . Wondering why everyone seems to think mexican food is something covered in melted cheese . . . . tasteless and I walked away feeling like I wish I had never gone. . . . want to be fresh then dont make my platte look like it had been reheated in an over and prepared days before . . . I am not sure how they won top restaurant as there are many other far better mexican places about.
Total failure of a Mexican restaurant. No Carne Asada or Carnitas, the Mexican rice was not good, the salsa was just like something that comes in a jar. It looks like Mexican food, but it's not. Fail.
It was the worst place I've ever been, Firstly I opened the menu and there was sauce all over it.(real classy).. I should have left then.. The corn chips were stale and the dip had no taste , our meals were thrown on the table. The waitress didn't even ask who had what resulting in us getting each others order, the meals were tasteless and bland, and also resulted in my girlfriend getting food poisoning. I only took my girlfriend there to treat her out to a nice night which turned out to be a complete disaster...and it would hurt if your staff smiled once in a while too. I can cook better mexican out of a packet. Very Very Dissapointed

I live in Sydney and can't find any decent Mexican, every time i'm down I head straight to Taco Bills, especially South Melbourne where Stan, the mine host who is a mad Dalls Cowboys fan, entertains and provides some of the best Mexican food you will find outside Mexico. Quality is the best, as is the service, do your self a favour, you won't be disappointed.
It doesn't get any better
The service is great. The food is fantastic. They always look after our children with colouring in sheets and balloons. The strawberry margharitas are devine!!! And we're South American so it's great to eat a fantastic meal and listen to latin music.
Because of its "casualness". The food is good, served by friendly staff in a very comfortable surrounding. They also do great margaritas ai carumba!!!!
Fantastic Food and Outstanding Service!!!! I am in the United States Navy and everytime I make a port visit to South Melbourne I always stop at Taco Bill's for the superb food, service and environment. It is a great escape from ship life!!!
The service is excellent, always speedy, and very tasty. They have recently changed chef's/owners and we think it has allowed for many improvements.. They always have great drink specials on Fridays, and a lunchtime menu thats extensive. Better than any other Mexican Restaurant in the VIC and NSW states!
Great variety, quality and great tasting meals for our whole family, always provide an extremely friendly and quick service and make you feel important
Easy place to take the children and enjoy the food at the same time!
I love the restaurant as they always have really good service. I have found that I keep returning to the restaurant, year after year, as I always know I will get really good food, great tasting Margarita's and A1 service. I also like that the menu is clear in it's prices and easy to read menu. I reciently took my young child and as usually they were outstanding in both the way they served, treated and fussed over him. They made the outing really pleasant and I know I will be returning to them again soon.
It has the best atmosphere and the staff are fantastic. We are always made to feel welcome and special. To top it off, the food is great! We have had many work functions at this restaurant and they have been huge successes. And the wicked Margaritas are the icing on the cake!!
Brilliant service; one of the few restaurants that you can dine in with young children and actually enjoy yourself; very well priced food; great margharitas, excellent and friendly staff. Consistently a great night out here.
The food is great the service fantastic they are all welcoming. Their nachos are to die for and the beef fajitas wrapped in a tortilla with sour cream, capsicum and some onion all though very simple absolutely delicious and satisfying. The best restaurant going round.
I love the consistently great food and friendly service, it feels like visiting old friend everytime we visit.
We felt like VIP's when eating here. The service was impeccable and the food exceptional!
The feeling of getting a real Tex-Mex meal, is one of the many reasons I enjoy eating at Taco Bill. Not to mention the wait staff being happy to serve you.
The staff are always friendly, the meals always come out hot and and you never have to wait too long to be served.
Best nachos, tacos and fajitas ever, i love mexican and have eaten it lots of different mexican resturantes and even other taco bills, but this one is the best by far.
There is a real Mexican feel about the restaurant and especially the delicious food they serve!
The friendy staff that remember you when you walk through the door and always provide superior customer service, but most importantly I have been to a lot of mexican places in victoria and this is the only one that compares to the ones run by Mexican's in America. The food always taste great everytime.
I grew up eating this food, even though I am australian, dad took us to taco bill's every week. Have been eating it for over 35 years. Have converted well over one hundred people to this food too.
I've been eating at Taco Bill Sth Melbourne since I was a child. Stan (owner) provides excellent cuisiine, a fantastic atmosphere and outstanding service.
My daughter even chose this as the venue for her 8th birthday dinner!!
Great for a catch up before basketball. They're quick and taste great.
Cheap quick good atmosphere caters for children
The service is always efficient and friendly and the food is always great. The margaritas are great value too.
The food is well presented and tastes great, we enjoy taking our young children there and they are welcomed and treated kindly by all the staff. It is a great place to eat with all the famliy!
They just taste really good! I used to hate Mexican food: Tacos, Nachos... Until I met Taco Bill. Their Tacos are delicious, and it is through Taco Bill that I have come to learn about, try, and love so many more Mexican dishes. Their version of a creme caramel one of the best desserts I've ever had!
Taco Bill South Melbourne has been a favourite of mine for over 22 years now.
It has a very warm feel to the restaurant and Stan is always there to say hi and check that everything is OK with our meal.
I love their birthday club and special offers that have our names printed especially and of course the food is delicious.
Food is soooo tasty and very well priced. I love the potato skins with chicken, beef, kidney beans, cheese, tomato salsa, mmmmmm devine its making me hungry just talking about it. Great service at the South Melbourne restaurant, always happy. The Sangria drink is also quite nice. My favourite restaurant to go to for a big hearty meal.
The shredded beef they use in the taco's is so much better than the mince meat you receive in other restaurant taco's.
The kids are excited about coming there because they love the tacos and quesadillas. (I personally love the strawberry margaritas) and my husband loves the mexican sticky date pudding and its very generous size.
Have been going here for years past, and hopefuly years to come. Offers the most tasty and consistent Mexican food I have found anywhere in Australia. Also, has absolutely the most refreshing frozen margarita's that you will find anywhere.
Cheers
Great service, good quality food and they welcome my 2 year old with balloons and snakes on his drink. Keep it up Taco Bill South Melbourne!
The service delivers you a feeling of 'you are important' to us. The delicious tastes and the variety of meals available makes aech visit a 'new' experience .The price is the best value (quality, flavour, service) in Melbourne. Taco Bills Sth Melb is a survivor, my favourite restaurant for over 30+ years.
I enjoy the pasta and pizza resurants because it's my favioute food and when prepared and cooked right is one of the best dishes around. Always good to chill at the pub if you just want to kick back with friends getting a great bistro meal is awesome while watching sport on the tv at the pub with mates.
Fantastic atmosphere, fast and friendly service, delicious spicy mexican food, need I go on? I wish I could eat there right now! Oh and I haven't even mentioned the best margaritas in Victoria!
Healthy, there's a variety to choose from, vegetarian and meat lovers. Great Mexican pudding! Yummy!
It's a party every time we go. We love it the drinks, the food and the service. Just a good night out YUM!

old fashioned fun,I love it as a normal restaurant and
